It hasn't been on anybody's priority list so far that I know, but
this would be not too hard to implement in theory.

The code changes would need to alter just one class.  In
View.Path, functions Path.find_wildcards, match_wildcards and
fill_in_wildcards, if you're interested in giving it a try.

Can you constrain your use of "*" a bit?  What makes these
wildcards difficult is all the edge cases.  For instance, is
there ever more than one "*"?  Is it combined with "..."?  Are
there multiple lines in the client spec with wildcards?  Some
abstracted examples would be interesting.
